His License Was Put On Probation

Vega has had his license put on Probation. He is my ex wife’s attorney. I knew that after being questioned that there was the possibility that she could impeached. She is my daughter’s mother. Check the court camera right in front of Commissioner Keller Court Room. You will hear me, break down, and T...ell Vega that I am concerned his client, my ex-wife, was going to get impeached. Vega stated that he does not care if his client gets impeached. Vega stated It means nothing. Funny thing.. On 8/9/22. His Client, My ex-wife.. was impeached. I just didn’t want it to happen again.. for the best interest of my little girl Through Vega.. this divorce has taken over 4 years. It’s cost me over 70k.. my ex wife probably spent close to 175k. We are more dysfunctional now than 4 years ago. We probably have another 2 years, after the hatred he has placed between myself and my ex-wife, this will never end, and he will collect his paycheck. All can be confirmed in Court Documents

I lost my baby because of him

I had my consult and knew the case in full detail with every party involved. He felt confident that there's no reason I wouldn't be able to get the baby back and that it was good to have representation. He canceled on me Friday afternoon due to a conflict of interest when court hearing was Monday mor...ning. I had no representation for myself and I lost my baby. Should have read the reviews before consulting with him. I did at least receive my my money back, but I lost my child over it.

Unprofessional, zero communication and guess-timating expenses

I hired Mr. Vega and the amount of unprofessionalism and overage charges have been a constant issue. He never contacts me after court cases to explain what the outcome was and when I have communication through email, I end up being charged a thousand dollars for a few emails. He doesnt take the time ...to actually help the case but rather show up and act as if he had planned some sort of dialogue. His office is crummy and there's no going around it. I had to chase the assistant to get information. If you want a lawyer with open communication and effective procedures, this guy isnt it. If you ever do speak to him outside of the court room, be expected to be over charged for every word. I have wasted so much money without any sort of progress. I wanted to fire him as a lawyer but it took two months for the assistant to even tell me I cannot and they need to file paperwork to do so. This office is a joke.

Excellent attorney

He is extremely honest and available to his clients. We found him to be reliable attorney that actually cares about his clients as people. His fees were reasonable and fair. I would hire him again!
